Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of agricultural aviation plant protection equipment, specifically relating to an agricultural aviation gimbal mechanism for real-time horizontal attitude deviation correction. Background Technology

[0002] Agricultural aviation in China began in the 1950s. The development of agricultural aviation plant protection has promoted intelligent and precise spraying technology. Aerial spraying technology has strict standards for flight altitude and droplet spraying quality. Within its application scope, it aims to minimize operating costs, maximize productivity, and improve operational efficiency. my country's agricultural helicopter low-altitude, low-volume spraying technology has formed a relatively complete set of operational specifications and technical systems. To ensure the quality of plant protection spraying operations in agricultural production, high demands are placed on pilot skills, weather conditions, and hardware equipment.

[0003] Research on aerial plant protection spraying technology shows that rationally controlling the median diameter of droplets can affect the spraying effect of pesticides or other plant protectants. Generally, the smaller the median diameter of droplets, the easier it is for the droplets to disperse in the atmosphere, resulting in a wider coverage area and improving the adsorption and penetration of the pesticide solution. In application, the sprayed droplet quality of this invention meets the national requirements for pesticide application. The test droplets without the device of this invention showed a low completion rate of the spraying operation.

[0004] Due to restrictions imposed by the Civil Aviation Administration of China, any alterations to aircraft and their components beyond their original design specifications are prohibited after delivery, and connecting electrical appliances to the aircraft's power supply is not permitted. Furthermore, the field of self-stabilizing devices for agricultural helicopters is currently relatively undeveloped, and research in this area is also lacking. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In view of the above problems, the purpose of this invention is to propose an agricultural aviation gimbal mechanism for real-time horizontal attitude deviation correction, which can be placed on the cabin floor or seat without requiring additional installation on the helicopter. It enables self-stabilizing monitoring of the agricultural helicopter during spraying operations, thereby allowing the helicopter to maintain a balanced state and achieve more uniform droplet distribution during spraying.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of the present invention is as follows: through structural design, the sensing unit is made movable by using a slide rail slider and gear transmission, and self-stabilizing monitoring is achieved by changing the tilt direction of the sensing unit.

[0009] The gear assembly B consists of a rack 12, a housing I 13, a large and small combined gear 14, a pinion 15, a motor I 16, a bolt 17, a housing II 18, and a bolt group 19. The motor I 16 is fixedly connected to the upper groove of the housing II 18, and the output shaft on the front side of the motor I 16 is fixedly connected to the pinion 15, which meshes with the large gear of the large and small combined gear 14. The housing I 13 has a central hole and a pair of holes, and the housing II 18 has a central hole and a pair of threaded holes, with a groove on its upper front. The pinion of the large and small combined gear 14 passes through the central hole of the housing I 13 and meshes with the internal teeth of the rack 12.

The housing I 13 and the housing II 18 are fixedly connected by the bolt group 19.

[0010] The fuselage assembly C consists of motor assembly IC1 and motor assembly IIC2. Motor assembly IC1 and motor assembly IIC2 have the same structure, both consisting of bearing 20, shaft 21, coupling 22 and motor II 23. The bearing 20, shaft 21, coupling 22 and motor II 23 are arranged in sequence from the inside to the outside. The inner end of shaft 21 is interference-fitted with the inner ring of bearing 20.

[0012] The working process of this invention is as follows:

[0013] First, the GPS is placed inside housing 7 and secured by sliding component A and pre-tightening force. The specific principle is as follows: the upper and lower parts of housing 7 are connected in the same way. Taking the upper part as an example, slider I2 slides on slide rail 4. Slider I2 has a through hole, and fastening block I5 has a threaded hole. Slider I2, threaded shaft I3, and fastening block I5 are coaxially arranged. The upper end of threaded shaft I3 passes through the through hole of slider I2, and the lower end of threaded shaft I3 is threadedly connected to fastening block I5. Nut I1 is threadedly connected to the upper end of threaded shaft I3, generating pre-tightening force. The lower end face of fastening block I5 contacts the upper surface of housing 7. The housing 7 is fixedly connected by the pre-tightening force of both the upper and lower parts.

[0014] Assuming that during plant protection operations, when a horizontal attitude deviation of the aircraft is detected, the motor 16Ⅰ in gear assembly B first drives the pinion 15, which in turn drives the combined large and small gears 14. Then, the combined large and small gears 14 move on the rack 12. The rack 12 is designed to ensure that no matter how large the horizontal deviation of the aircraft is, the GPS in box 7 will only have a horizontal angular deviation within a certain angle.

[0015] Because gear assembly B cannot accurately correct the horizontal angle deviation of the GPS in box 7, a tilt drive assembly C is independently set up to precisely adjust the horizontal angle deviation. Motor assembly I C1 and motor assembly II C2 rotate simultaneously to adjust the deviation that gear assembly B could not correct, thereby improving the accuracy of the horizontal deviation and ensuring the accuracy of the GPS in box 7 during the flight of plant protection operations.

[0016] By coarsely adjusting gear set B in the horizontal direction and precisely adjusting tilt drive component C, the GPS in box 7 is ensured to remain horizontal during operation.

[0017] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows:

[0018] 1. This invention achieves the mobility of the sensing unit through structural design, utilizing slide rails, sliders, and gear transmission, enabling real-time monitoring of the horizontal attitude deviation of agricultural helicopters during spraying operations, thereby realizing a self-stabilizing monitoring function.

[0019] 2. The gimbal mechanism can be placed on the cabin floor or seats without requiring additional installation or modification to the aircraft, which complies with the relevant regulations of the Civil Aviation Administration of China and avoids changes beyond the original design.

[0020] 3. By coarsely adjusting the gear assembly B in the horizontal direction and precisely adjusting the tilt drive assembly C, the present invention can ensure that the GPS remains horizontal in the lateral direction during operation, thereby improving the accuracy of deviation correction.
